Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition has its sights set on a 29th September 2023 release date on Switch and other consoles, Apogee Entertainment, New Blood Interactive, and Nightdive Studios have announced today.

The game was originally slated to be released in "early 2023" but received a delay in July. Now, the Wolfenstein-inspired FPS has its crosshairs lined up for launch next month.

Retro rerelease specialist Nightdive Studio has teamed up with Apogee Entertainment (Quest Master) and New Blood Interactive (Dusk) to bring this classic '90s FPS to consoles. The Steam version, which came out earlier this year, has been very positively received by players and comes with restored content, new episodes, online multiplayer, and a huge number of gameplay options.

In case you need to catch up to speed, here's a summary of what to expect:

For the first time in ROTT history, gear up for all-out carnage on consoles and experience the trailblazing ‘90s FPS as never played before - with a controller! Run and gun across newly added multiplayer maps, and enjoy modern comforts like revamped 4K graphics, increased FOV, and cloud saves.

Gear up and take aim as an operative of the High-Risk United Nations Task-Force (codenamed H.U.N.T.) on a top-secret investigation off the California coast. Select from five elite soldiers armed with distinct abilities and stats, and stamp out shadowy cult activity wreaking havoc on Los Angeles.

Navigate twisty labyrinthine lairs and stage an all-out assault with iconic weaponry like dual-wielded pistols and MP-40 machine guns. Turn up the heat with face-melting drunk missiles, and rocket-jump skyward to rain down firepower from above in the world’s first FPS with verticality.

Feast on fresh content for die-hard operatives including five separate campaigns, expansion packs, and new episodes conceived by the original designers. Dust off untold stories with never-before-seen content from lost beta builds, and rock out to a remixed soundtrack with music choices from every ROTT release ever.

Crank up the LUDICROUS intensity with 11-player cross-play online multiplayer functionality, no dial-up screeching necessary. Engage in classic COMM-BAT deathmatch, take on the world in 10 vs. 1 Hunter mode, and fight for control in the historic “Capture the Triad” mode, gaming’s first ever online capture the flag mode.
